bus stop break..
shattered glass at a bus stop... must have been broken for a long time i suppose. No glass pieces on the floor. But still quite dangerous to leave it like this...Hope they fix it soon.

Usually in minus 10 to 20 C, the car engine is warmed up before drive off.

Monday Blues...
Sorry, this nothing to do with Vantaa... One of my silly slammers. It used to 'scream' but the sound has died.

waits over...
the train never arrived this morning. was waiting for about ten minutes and then an announcement is made that the train is expected to arrive 25 minutes later. Well, I couldnt wait that long so I took a bus to school today. The photos the past two days were also taken this morning.
I've not been well to post the past couple of days and thus the 3 day posting today. It's been very cold lately -19C and -23C this morning. Some of the tracks were frozen and thus the delay for the trains this morning.

Under 12 Not Allowed...
This is from the elevator in my building. it is an old lift and the doors are not automatic. That is you have to pull the lift door to get in and push the door to get out. Wonder if that explains this notice here. "Alle 12 vuotiaat....hissiä. " It means that those under 12 years old are not allowed to use the lift alone. I have no idea why not. Any ideas..?

In a line...
This is the path down from the train station. As you can see, there is a lot of walking space to the right. But the four people in front of me chose to walk on the left near the pole. The reason being it was wet and slippery.

DP Theme Day: What really annoys me about my city
NO, beer bottles don't annoy me. It is the people who reek of them. It is common to board a train in the mornings with a drunk sitting next to you. It is usually a scruffy middle-aged man who smells of beer (also pee at times). He then starts to talk to himself or the passenger next to him. Even when he exits the train, the nauseating stench lingers on the carriage for some time... Urghhh!!
It is this whole situation tat annoys me.... the foul morning drunks. I dare not take a picture of a drunk for the reason, they might get violent on me. So the beer above is innocent. ;-)
A sample introduction text is:
